Conroe ISD board adopts owl mascot, navy-and-blue colors for new virtual school
Summary
Conroe ISD trustees adopted an owl mascot and navy/blue color scheme for the district’s new virtual school and signaled plans to seek permanent legislative funding for the online option.
Conroe Independent School District trustees voted to adopt an identity for the district’s new virtual school, selecting an owl as the mascot and navy-and-blue as the school colors.
David Vincent, superintendent of Conroe ISD, said the board “actually adopted a mascot and some colors for 1 of our new schools, and that is the virtual school.” Board President Misty Odenweiler added: “We settled on the owl and navy and the blue last night as the identity for, the virtual school here in Conroe ISD.”
Trustees framed the branding choice as part of a broader effort to create student ownership and a distinct identity for the online program as the district expands virtual offerings. Vincent said the board also intends to pursue legislation to secure permanent, full‑day funding for the online option, making funding stability a stated priority for the virtual program’s future.
No vote tallies or mover/second details were provided in the Boardroom Brief; the district announced the adoption as a concluded board action from the prior meeting.
The district plans public outreach tied to several agenda items and encouraged the community to review forthcoming materials about the virtual program as the district develops the program’s operational and curricular details.
